HUMPBACK WHALES 3D
The ocean’s Humpback whales have inspired a 3D giant screen film that will premiere in international theatres.
Humpback Whales will take audiences to the underwater world, to the faraway places where Humpbacks live and thrive. 
From the clear turquoise waters of the South Pacific to Africa, Hawaii and Alaska, this 40-minute ocean adventure will reveal what we know about thisgiant mammal and what mysteries scientists are determined to solve.
The fifty-foot whales will appear life-size on the giant screen. Audiences will swim alongside them, and beentertained by their high-spirited, full body acrobatics as the whales leap, twirl, lunge and splash their way onto the giant screen. Using the magic of computer graphics, viewers will become like the fabled Jonah – and be swallowed by a whale in a fun, water-churning roller-coaster ride into the
giant’s maw.
We’ll see mothers caring for their young and listen to males sing a song that fills the theatre. Because international laws now ban whaling, more than 100,000 Humpbacks live and travel off our shores. They play, they need a good meal, they care for their young and breathe the air we breathe. And Humpback Whales will sing their song for audiences everywhere.

“…Humpback Whales,” directed by Greg MacGillivray, is something special.”
– Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
"Visually captivating moments come with underwater close-ups of adult and baby whales."
- John Hazelton, Screen Daily
"One does quite literally feel it’s possible to reach out and touch the 50-foot giants onscreen."
– Geoff Berkshire, Daily Variety
“A whale of a nature doc, dynamic and dazzling....The latest marine adventure by Greg MacGillivray, dean of IMAX ocean films, celebrates the resurgence of a once-endangered mammal and showcases it in large-as-life action, among crystalline waters and psychedelic swells of krill. Immersive in ways that not many movies can claim, Humpback Whales is a prime example of the power of large-format documentaries to educate, delight and inspire.”
—Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
